United Sports Car Racing (USCR)
Well.....that sucks. Without Mid Ohio they've lost me. Two stupid street races and they thumb their noses at two iconic sports car tracks. Go figure.

Airborne and race cars should never be used in the same sentence.......

The GTEs were brought over strictly for ALMS after the GT3s had been run in Europe for a while. The GTE has a much blockier aero setup as it had to work within the ALMS rules. IMHO, the GT3 is a much sexier car.
Now that USCC has come along, the rules have opened up and allowed the GT3s to come in as well. It'll be interesting to see how the rules handle them as the European version of the GT3s were faster cars compared to the GTE under ALMS regulations.
At the end of last season Rahal and the team were really hoping they'd open up the restrictors on the GTEs because they couldn't keep up on the straights with the rest of the field.
I'm looking forward to next year's season. We'll be out there with BMW again and it'll be great to be able to work along side Turner and some of the other companies now that we're all under one series. Should be a blast.
Here's our article going over the debut of the GTE last year:

I noticed that although RSR is no longer a team, Sarah Cateano and Owen Trinkler are co-driving a Cruise America Honda Civic in the CTSSC.
Good luck to them.-

Since I'm still waiting for 9pm (E) when I can watch more than the onboards, how 'bout a few historical pics from the Daytona 24H?

There was no contact between either car, the Ferrari had the line. That was just good hard racing, the Ferrari driver was more than fair. Me thinks we have not heard the last of this. Hope they win the appeal.
The last caution thrown sure had the NASCARP smell to it.-

We had the fortune of attending the Rolex24 with our friends at BMW and Team RLL. It was a fantastic event and quite the endurance test for even us photographers, haha. I'm excited for this new season and the new grid. It was an exciting race to watch. I'm looking forward to the races that lie ahead.

Not sure as I have never been able to find any full race broadcasts. But that is changing this year as the races will be covered live on the NBC Sports Network.
TV Schedule.....
